-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed | Bedroom 3: Full Bed | Bedroom 4: Full Bed

Approach the entrance to this beautiful home and admire the large well-kept yard and landscaping. You're sure to spend quality time on the immense front porch, where you'll enjoy morning cups of coffee, evening cocktails, and cookouts over the first-class gas grill.

After your travels, settle down in the living area on a plush couch and turn on the gas fireplace to get cozy. Turn on the large flat-screen cable TV and gather together for a cozy evening at home!

As dinnertime approaches, make your way into the kitchen which comes fully equipped with stainless steel appliances. While the steaks are sizzling on the gas grill, pull up a chair to the breakfast bar to prepare a few sides. Savor dinner with the group around the impressive dining room table.

As your eyes begin to grow heavy, retreat to the primary bedroom outfitted with a welcoming queen bed, large flat-screen cable TV and a completely tiled en-suite bathroom. When the others are ready, they can climb under the covers of the additional queen and 2 full beds.

Hidden Elm is a beautiful, spacious house that perfectly accommodated our seven adults and one toddler. Walking distance to shopping, restaurants and nature. Easy access to Acadia and under 30 minutes to other scenic parts of the island. So many lovely features at the house, and a well-stocked kitchen made cooking fun. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

House was perfect for a good sized group. Main bedroom is on the opposite side of the house from the other bedrooms, which is perfect if one couple goes to bed earlier than everyone else or has light sleepers. Kitchen was great and well stocked. Yard is beautiful. Porches are perfect for eating outside or just hanging out. Location is great. Right near the center of Southwest Harbor but still quiet when you're actually at the house. Farmers' Market and Craft Fair are less than a five minute walk away on weekends in summertime. Awesome place!

We were initially very happy with our stay at Mike and Libby’s, until they had their fencing contractor come at 7 am and do extremely noisy work until 10:30. If you are looking for quiet, I would highly recommend contacting the host in advance. Also, there seems to be some kind of basketball camp adjacent to the property, so be prepared for the sound of kids and bouncing balls. It’s a charming old, tastefully decorated house, but in the heart of southwest harbor. Consider these factors if you’re looking for rest and relaxation. We probably wouldn’t have chosen it knowing about the noise level.

Our entire family (including Oliver the Cairn Terrier) thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful home. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. Our granddaughter left a toy behind and they were kind enough to find it and return it

Our family of 5 had a lovely stay at Hidden Elm! The property is lovely, was very clean, lots of nice amenities (cookware, soaps, dishwasher detergent, laundry soap, comfy beds, sheets, and towels, etc.). LOVED the location--we enjoyed walking into SW Harbor, and easy driving into Acadia, Bar Harbor, Mount Desert, etc. The primary bedroom is set apart from the other 3 bedrooms which worked for us, and our two older children stayed upstairs. The baby stayed in the sitting room near the primary bedroom. Libby was a wonderful host! The steps are steep and both bathrooms are on the main level, but it all worked out great for our group. Would definitely stay at this house again!!

This was the most well equipped vacation rental we've ever stayed at. We brought a cooking pot and spices from home as we have found in the past that everything was not provided. Not the case here. We could have saved the room. The home was beautiful, the master bedroom and bathroom luxurious, and the village quaint. I would recommend this home without reservation.
